Drawings of classy naked people, that is… sold cheap! This Saturday, September 18th at the East Atlanta Strut festival. I’ll have a booth right next to Joe’s Coffee (in the lot in front of “Fluff and Em” Florist). I’ll be selling drawings from the past decade of figure classes I’ve held here in Atlanta:
Drawings of men, women and even babies!
Stop by, say howdy and pick up a cheap naked person!

April 3rd, 2007- The first ever Boozer Doodle!
(Continued from previous post- click on “Events” to the right and scroll down to find Part One)… I called my friend Ashley Zeltzer, who had been doing promotional material for the Dames Aflame burlesque group. Ashley is crazy talented,

My first attempt at using “Brushes”, an iPhone painting application. This is “Freckles”, our chicken who is ailing from an eye infection. It’s a little tricky figuring out the program on such a small canvas, but it works pretty well!
Dione modeled in July ’09, eight months pregnant. She came back to pose in January with her beautiful baby Ruby!

The idea for Boozer Doodle started with an e-mail
from one of the artists at my weekly figure drawing class, James Burns. He sent me a link to the Dr. Sketchy’s website and suggested I try something like that with our class. I had been tinkering with some ideas, once even had the class form an “in the round” seating arrangement and do sequential drawings that I later compiled with fellow artist Raquel Asturias. I’ve lost her file but was able to put together a Flash file from the original scans.
About a dozen artists sat in a circle around the model. We all numbered our drawings in the sequence that we were seated, then each drew three sequential poses from model Ana Balka. I later scanned in all the drawings and re-sized and positioned them in Photoshop, then created the final transition movie in Flash:
This was a fun experiment, and I had been thinking about trying some different approaches with the models. One idea was to have them act out a blind script pose by pose, and reveal a story through the final drawings.
When I saw the Dr. Sketchy’s website, I saw the possibility of something apart from the regular figure class- something fun, and more in the tradition of the Moulin Rouge and the bawdy night life drawings of Toulouse-Lautrec!
After reading several of Dr. Sketchy’s creator Molly Crabapple’s ideas for using a bar setting and hiring performers for models, I quickly thought of the Vortex in Midtown, with its separate back showroom for the burlesque group Dames Aflame.

This was an especially fun piece I directed for Cartoon Network Latin America when I was still at Primal Screen. The writer is Craig Adams, a great guy and fun to work with (that’s him on the voice over). I got to create original characters and come up with lots of gags for the spot.

This was one of a series of bumpers for the Cartoon Network re-face we did at Primal Screen in the late ’90’s. It was great working on these icons of the animation world, the heroes of my childhood!
